The 2014 Convention of the National Federation of the Blind of Virginia will be held November 7 through 9, 2014 at the Crowne Plaza Hampton Marina, located at 700 Settlers Landing Road, Hampton, Virginia 23669. To make hotel reservations, call the hotel directly at (866) 727-9990 or (757) 727-9700. Special room rates have been negotiated for registered convention attendee's. When you call the hotel, make sure to tell them that you are attending the convention so that you will receive the special convention rate. The deadline to make hotel reservations is October 20, 2014. After the deadline, there is no guarantee that you will get a room at the convention hotel.
Child care is available to the children of registered convention attendees (ages infant through 5th grade) during 4 sessions of convention. These sessions are:
Session 1 Friday evening 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm
Session 2 Saturday morning 8:45 am to 12:15 pm
Session 3 Saturday afternoon 12:15 pm to 5:15 pm
Session 4 Saturday evening 6:45 pm to hour after banquet adjournment
Snacks will be provided during Session 2 and Session 3. Even though child care will be open and fully staffed during lunch on Saturday, lunch will not be provided. Parents should either pick their child up for lunch at the end of Session 2 or provide a lunch for their child to eat in the child care room. Also, dinner will not be provided on Saturday evening. Parents should feed their child dinner prior to bringing them to Session 4. The cost of child care is $5 per family per session. If you need more information, please contact Michael Kasey at (540) 760-3885 or michaelgkasey@verizon.net. Please indicate the number of children per session on the Convention Pre Registration Form.
On Saturday, there will be luncheons for the Students Division and the Parents Division. Box lunches should be purchased if you plan to attend one of these luncheons.
On Saturday, box lunches will be available for a cost of $16.50 if purchased in advance on the convention pre registration form. Box lunches can only be guaranteed for those purchased on the convention pre registration form. A limited number may be available for purchase at the convention.
Running parallel to the convention will be the 2014 Youth Track, presented by the NFB of Virginia Students Division. The Youth Track will: connect students with positive role models and their peers throughout the state; challenge students to think about themselves and their role in the civil rights movement; introduce students to our positive NFB philosophy on blindness; educate students about their choices for blindness skills training; and put these new experiences to work through a travel activity outside the convention hotel.
